Chapter 1122 Merger of two projects? (Three more, two more to)
"Ahem...... Feng Xiangjiang coughed vigorously twice to dispel his embarrassment, "So, the head office of the group means that we hope we can cooperate on specific projects." ”
"For example?" Lin Hongfei asked, "For example, in terms of small turboshaft engines and turboprop engines?" ”
"Not only that, but it can also be expanded to small turbojet engines and turbofan engines." Feng Xiangjiang's words made Lin Hongfei's heart beat half a beat slower.
If we can really establish a cooperative relationship with Zhuzhou Aviation Power Machinery Research Institute in small and micro aero engines...... Lin Hongfei had to admit that after hearing Feng Xiangjiang's words, he was really moved, no matter how bad the Zhuzhou Aviation Power Machinery Research Institute is, but they are also a small and micro aero engine research and development institution with 25 years of technical accumulation, a well-organized research team is there, there is a complete and orderly technical heritage and a fairly good production team, and the execution efficiency is efficient. This is definitely not something that can be compared with the ragtag army formed after being picked up from the former Soviet Union.
"How do you calculate the capital investment? How to allocate the investment in R&D strength? Who is in charge? How will the benefits be divided after success in the future? Lin Hongfei asked, this is the question that will be asked after the negotiation enters the substantive content, and it also means that Lin Hongfei acquiesces to the cooperation method of the two companies: the two companies do not annex or merge each other, but a special cooperative relationship similar to a strategic partner, only to cooperate on specific cooperation projects.
But at this point, Feng Xiangjiang is obviously much smarter than Lu Fanbo of the Ordnance Industry Corporation, probably because his uncle doesn't love his grandmother all the year round in the 608 Institute, and he has to find a way to fill his stomach by himself, he didn't answer Lin Hongfei's question immediately, but smiled slyly. "That's what we're going to talk about next."
"Okay, then let's start with the cooperation of a small turboprop engine that our company is developing now," Lin Hongfei did not hesitate, although Feng Xiangjiang is very cunning, but Lin Hongfei believes that in the face of absolute strength, everything else is fake, "The performance and various technical indicators of our small turboprop engine are roughly the same as those of the Canadian Pratt. Early models of the Whitney PT6A series were quite ......"
Lin Hongfei simply introduced the performance and various parameters of the turboshaft engine tentatively named Turboshaft-01 (WJ-01) to Feng Xiangjiang, and said, "Now our company has found materials that can greatly improve the total temperature resistance before turbines. At the same time, our country's well-known aviation high-temperature material expert, turbine hollow blade expert Academician Xu Chang is giving technical guidance to our engine, and there are also a number of academicians of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and the Academy of Engineering who are ready to join the Academy of Engineering after the establishment of the Academy of Engineering to guide our work. ”
"I know that the 608 Institute of Langdao is now also developing a turboprop-9 small turboprop engine used on the Y-12 on the basis of the turboshaft-8A, to replace the PT6A-27 turboprop engine imported from Pratt & Whitney...... It would be a waste to develop two engines with similar performance and similar purposes at the same time. ”
Feng Xiangjiang nodded. Of course, he knew that Lin Hongfei was telling the truth, the turboprop-9 being developed by the 608 Institute and the WJ-01 being studied by the Guqi Provincial Industrial Manufacturing Co., Ltd. were actually an engine with a high overlapping market positioning. For a country. The development of two turboprop engines of the same type at the same time is not only unnecessary, but also a huge waste, the two units cooperate on this project, and combine the research and development strength and funds of the two companies to make a turboprop engine with better performance, which is indeed the most optimal choice in theory.
But the crux of the question is whether the turboprop-9 engine of the 608 Institute is the same as the design concept of the WJ-01 of the Guqi Provincial Industrial Manufacturing Co., Ltd.? If the design concept and ideas are different, who should be the main one? As for the distribution of benefits. You also need to lean back.
Just like Mitsubishi's 4G63 and Citroen's PSARFN10LH47 are two inline four-cylinder gasoline engines with similar performance, the basic principle is the same, but when it comes to specific design, they are two completely different engines.
"I have no opinion in principle. However, it must be based on the turboprop-9 of our 608 institute, which is developed on the basis of the turboshaft-8A, and the turboshaft-8A is an imitation product of the French Turbomeca (TM) Arrière-1C turboshaft engine, with mature technology, reliable performance, short development cycle, and can produce results at the fastest speed. Feng Xiangjiang immediately put forward his opinion.
Of course, Lin Hongfei could not agree with Feng Xiangjiang's opinion, and he immediately refuted Feng Xiangjiang's words, "That's right, according to your statement, the turboprop-9 is developed on the basis of the turboshaft-8A, and the turboshaft-8A is an imitation of the Arriel-1C turboshaft engine, and the Arye-1C is a model that has been eliminated by the French. ”
"In terms of the development trend and technical advancement of turboshaft engines and turboprop engines in the world, whether it is turboshaft-8A or turboprop-9, they have been outdated, and now the French have long begun to use the Arrière-2C series...... Director Feng, I don't need to say more about the plateau performance of the vortex shaft-8A, right? Since the plateau performance of the turboshaft-8A is very poor, how can you expect the turboprop-9 of the same core machine to be better at the plateau? Our country shouldn't want an engine with a serious plateau problem in its 'heart', right? ”
"I know that your development of turboshaft-8A and turboprop-9 is also in the existing technology, processing technology and material technology conditions have no way, that is because we have no choice, but now it is different, our company's WJ-01 turboprop engine is the former Soviet Union Zaporosh Progressive Machine-Building Bureau in the 80s of the technology, from any technical point of view, in today's world is also the world's first-class, in this case, we suggest that our company's WJ- The 01 turboprop engine is the main engine, and the turboshaft engine with more advanced technology is developed on the basis of this turboprop engine. ”
After a pause, Lin Hongfei added, "Professor Xuchang, our country's master of materials science and aero engines, has conducted a technical appraisal of the design drawings of this small turboprop engine and the turboshaft engine developed on this basis from the Zaporosh Progressive Machine Manufacturing Bureau, and believes that the core engine of this engine is a core engine with a very good design and great potential for improvement. This engine has the vitality and technical level comparable to Pratt & Whitney's PT6 core machine...... Director Feng, you are engaged in aero engines, and you know the importance of a core aircraft. ”
If Feng Xiangjiang was still very indifferent to Lin Hongfei's words before, then at this moment, when he heard Lin Hongfei say that their company's core machine has the same potential as Pratt & Whitney's PT6 core machine, he suddenly couldn't calm down, "Mr. Lin, are you serious?" Did Academician Shi really say that? ”
"Academician Shi is now in our company, as long as you are not afraid of being scolded by him, you can ask him at any time." Faced with Feng Xiangjiang's question, Lin Hongfei said with confidence.
"Why do you want to be scolded by the academician of the division?" Feng Xiangjiang asked Lin Hongfei a little strangely, but then, he suddenly realized: Academician Shi is now analyzing, sorting out, and studying the information collected by Guqi Provincial Industrial Manufacturing Co., Ltd., and the whole person has entered a state of frenzy nine times out of ten.
Knowing this, of course he would not touch the mold of the academician, but with Lin Hongfei's words, he completely believed that the technical indicators and level of the WJ-01 turboprop engine of Guqi Provincial Industrial Manufacturing Co., Ltd. were indeed very advanced, but formally because of this, he felt entangled: the 608 Institute has invested huge manpower, material resources, financial resources and time for the turboprop-9, is it difficult to give up so much?
If it is abandoned, this is a huge political responsibility, and who will bear this responsibility?
Regarding Director Feng's worries, Lin Hongfei looked disdainful, "Director Feng, the vortex-8A is a product of China Southern Aviation Power Machinery Company, right?" The turboprop-9 of your Zhuzhou Aviation Power Machinery Research Institute is just developed on the basis of the vortex shaft-8A of the Southern Aviation Power Machinery Company. We just merge two projects into one under the pretext of avoiding duplication and waste, and who dares to say anything? ”
Avoid duplication of waste and cause losses to the country? This excuse is not bad, Feng Xiangjiang was somewhat persuaded by Lin Hongfei, he thought about it, and finally nodded, "I can try to explain it to the head office." ”
Lin Hongfei couldn't help but roll his eyes: Speaking of which, you can't make the decision yourself, "No problem, but in order to avoid more trouble, I will first explain that in the research process, it must be based on our company, of course, I also guarantee that in the research process, everything will be based on technical skills, and there will be no administrative laymen who do not know how to guide technical experts, and ......"
Lin Hongfei paused, and said something that made Feng Xiangjiang almost fall, "I believe that the R&D funds of the 608 Institute are definitely not as generous as our company, and the software and hardware conditions are by no means as good as our company." (To be continued......)
